bottle 99

A PSYCHOLOGICAL DEEP SPACE BALLETDirected by Jenni Reinke and Brian RottA small group of astronauts embark on the mecca of their lifetime. With space. To an identified habitable planet.

This original, multimedia, cosmic ballet will explore the physiological and psychological effects of interplanetary, deep space travel, providing voyeurs an opportunity to watch the past and discover the future.

Bottle 99 is a paranormal collaboration combining an ethereal score by experimental composer Wylie Hefti, gravity defying imagery by acclaimed animator Patrik Beck, and breathtaking movement by some of Milwaukee's most innovative choreographers. Devised and performed by the Quasimondo ensemble. All aboard...

"Bottle 99,... takes us to spaces we would never expect; both outer, inner, and artistic...a densely allusive, image-rich series of striking and powerful movements, reminiscent of the paintings of old masters in that they communicate volumes through groupings of figures, facial expressions and gestures...genuine and courageous. It’s very much like observing another culture

""mesmerizing and quite beautiful — an ideal vehicle for chronicling Quasimondo's own remarkable journey, as a troupe that regularly ventures into galactic realms where theater rarely dares to go.Mike fischer, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
